FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda In a letter to Ban, the poets asked the UN to set up an international fact-finding committee to investigate the terrorist attacks against the Shias. They also called on the UN to probe “open comprehensive cases concerning genocide and gross human rights violations in international courts….”
The letter was also addressed to the European Commission Jose Manuel Barroso, and US President Barack Obama.
On Saturday, a bomb attack in a crowded market in the town of Hazara, on the outskirts of Quetta in Pakistan’s southwestern Balochistan Province killed at least 90 people including Shia Muslims and injured almost 200 others.
Following the massacre, protesters took to the streets across Pakistan and other countries including the neighboring Afghanistan to denounce the violence against Shia Muslims.
Violence has escalated against Shia Muslims in different parts of Pakistan in recent months. Since the beginning of 2012, hundreds of Shias have been killed in the country.
On February 1, some 19 people were killed and dozens wounded when a motorcycle packed with explosives exploded near a mosque in the town of Hangu in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province.
On January 10, nearly 130 people were killed and many others injured in a wave of deadly attacks targeting both Pakistani security guards and civilians, including Shia Muslims, in the country.
Shias make up about a third of Pakistan’s population of over 180 million.
